The Autumn Maiden

The Autumn Maiden arrived yesterday all the way from America - a few days after my birthday. Thank you Cadi, she is beautiful. You have put so much work into making her. It is so generous of you to give her away. She will be treasured for years down here. I also love the fact that she is wearing all my favourite colours.
I keep looking at her in amazement. I have only just started needle felting myself and have wanted to make a needle felted doll to put on a nature table.

This is the second item that I have won on blog give aways - at least I actually received this prize. I am still waiting on another prize that I was supposed to have won months ago. Maybe my "style" just ain't "foxy" enough considering it is only 40km up the road and hasn't been lost in the post! But I will say no more.....
Maybe it's not blogging etiquette to have a dig but being Australian, I can't help myself. Why have a give away if there is no intention of giving the prize way? I'm a bit disappointed. I'll put it down to it being not meant to be, and let it go.
Anyway, I have a beautiful Autumn Maiden now, so it all balances out.
Once again, thank you, Cadi. http://cadilily.blogspot.com/

Starfish

It's been a while between blogs - I had to get a new internet provider and now I'm finally back on line (yippppee!).

I haven't been doing much craft stuff as I've been trying to catch up on sleep. Little Loopity Lou has been busy growing some teeth (6 of them) and I've been feeling like a big organic teething rusk.

However, I managed to make some needle-felted Starfish for Katie's school craft stall.
I've made some other items as well but they're half finsished and all over the house away from little hands. My goal is to try and finish all these half started projects before I start new ones.
There's so much that I want to do but not much time, and with sleep deprivation I try not to get frustrated because that would dampen my creative energy. I suppose it is all about balance (I do get a bit lop-sided with 10 and half kg hanging off my boobs!).
